This is the VCRS’s maiden or pilot “Video DJ” mashup proudly brought to you by the very subdued but groovy “Virgil the Video DJ” in partnership with WAVES Works entertainment subsidiary. Although not commercially available and primarily intended as promotional for the artist featured this material has been rejected by multiple video hosting websites. All the while they allow similar “full length” material from the same artist to be published by random account holders who clearly have no copyright permission either.
Anyway without going on about inconsistencies we’d like to introduce you to Virgil and his vast music knowledge Virgil before it goes to waste. Virgil has chosen to focus on a personal favourite Australian band known as Pseudo Echo. Featuring snippets of most of their hits in some rare performance videos televised on popular Australian TV shows back in the mid to late 1980’s. This band can be considered very underrated and their success ended prematurely arguably by their taking a risk on a slight (electric guitar driven) genre change by the release of their 3rd studio album (Race). This may have been done as an attempt to lose the “bubblegum” tag or attract a newer legion of fans with a style of music that was gathering momentum, that being 90’s grunge. Sadly it backfired, big time, probably due to the loss of their devoted electronic synthesiser loving fans” and the keeping of the 80’s synominous “Keytar” in their bands repertoire. That aside the band, or parts thereof, continue to tour the Australian Countryside riding the wave of the very 80’s style influence\d music that they were renowned for. So without further delay here we go...
